Product Description

Product Description

At twenty-seven, Libby thinks there's a lot to be said for a rich husband. So when Nick comes along - lovely, funny, handsome Nick, who has no money whatsoever, lives in a grotty bedsit and thinks the perfect night out consists of the pub and his mates - she decides he's only good for a fling. Wealthy investment banker Ed, on the other hand, could possibly be the answer. His house in Regent's Park makes up for his hideous moustache and she can probably overlook his irritating habits. And he's crazy about her. But does Libby really know what she needs? Is it more important to look for a man who makes you laugh, who's kind, sensitive and most of all sexy as hell? Or one who can give you security and worships the ground you walk on?

By Charlie

I admit to loving a bit of chick-lit every now and again, it's my guilty pleasure! I love Maeve Binchey, Marian Keyes, Lesley Pearse and my favourite, Lisa Jewell. I'd not tried Jane Green, so picked this up from the library.... and was massively disappointed!

I found Libby, the main character, to be such an unlikeable character - she's shallow and only interested in money and labels. I couldn't idenify with her at all - she only votes tory because her parents do and is totally uninterested in politics (which I find ridiculous!), she can't name a charity, she hates all pubs and thinks that women who drink pints are horrible. she wears clothes that i wouldn't be seen dead in, and goes to horrible 'classy' bars.
I found Jane Green's characters to be very stereotypical, and little offensive - you are either a right-wing, self-absorbed, label-wearing, white-wine drinking, man-obsessed, BEAUTIFUL, woman, or you are left-wing, scruffy, pint-drinking, UGLY, political woman. hmmm....really??
I found all the characters to be wholly unlikeable - Libby was horrible, Nick wasn't that nice either to be honest, (and their relationship is ridculous - if they are both as Jane Green writes them to be, then they simply would NOT get on - or have anything to do or talk about, without one completely changing their personality), we were supposed to dislike Ed, but actually, I found him quite sweet, and charming, his only failing seemingly to be that he had a moustache and was inexperienced in bed...let's hate him then shall we?

honestly, this was a terrible read. Like I said at the beginning, I love a bit of pulp fiction every now and again, but this was just insulting!

What a surpise 17 Mar 2003
Format:Paperback
When i first picked up this book to read i didn't think it would be as entertaining and engrossing as it was. I had got the book from a car boot sale, and considering i have never read one of her books i was surpised by it. She was a girl who wanted it all just like everbody today who want more. It was funny and witty and it could be related to, how many times have we all got caught up in a situation and can't think of a way out, because we're so worried about hurting that person, no matter how annoying. It was a true girly read which i throughly enjoyed and am going back to read the rest i missed. The only problem was in books now the women always seem to look the part/beautiful what happened to bridget style people who pull the hunks making us feel like it can happen to us, we can get that hunk.

I read this on the recommendation of a friend. I had never read this type of book before (first person diary style). But I'm converted. The story was funny. I think this book is mainly for girls. My boyfriend didn't understand half the things that I thought were amusing. It is very insightful into the female way of thinking. I'm now looking to read Jemima J or Straight Talking (both by Jane Green) as I thought Mr Maybe was such an enjoyable read.

Jane Green knows a good chick-lit...
Ok, this book isn't Jemima J which in my opinion is Green's best work to date however, it is amazing in its own right. Libby is a 27-year old who works as a PR. Read more

The reason I have only given three stars for "Mr Maybe" is because Libby is shallow,... Read more
